I grew up with the idea that once you found yourself with your clothes, why change?

That's what I think when people do their "best stuff" collection. When you start to think, "Oh, I will just present my 10 years of work," that's not a good sign.

Designers are more like artistic directors now. Before, there wasn't this idea of supervising the artistic direction of the entire house. The old way was to think you could be this couturier or designer or stylist.

If I were to find something that is going to be more important to me than fashion - that would be work and love - then I probably would let go. That's a possibility. But fashion is an addiction.

It's true that fashion is looking at fashion all the time, and this is quite boring.

I think when a time comes, a change comes, and you have to recognize the change but also believe in yourself.

I'm always curious. Every day. As we get on in life, we must be grateful.
